I'd say that was a pretty good result to be honest mate. I'd much rather that than some of the mongs i've dealt with in the past.
Yeah I've done well, still think people need to read an add though. Not just look at the pictures and phone.
I had my Focus just over a year, my Mums owned it since it was brand new.
Was just saying to a mate how even though I'm smug with my new 406, I'm totally gutted I've got rid of the Focus.
You know those walls you have for your kids that you mark their heights on as they grow up? The car is like one of them.
I remember the day it was bought, I remember every dent and scratch on that car. Theres 2/3 places where I've gone through with the machine polisher when I used to practice.
It's the car I used to tinker with and learned quite abit of what I know now from.
It did 75k of start/stop driving over 7 years when my Mum gave it to me. I've done 20k in one year of hard motorway driving and it always hung in there. Always got me where I wanted to go.
Not many older cars would have put up with what the Focus has.
If I could have kept it for a weekend car, I would have!
